Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer this superbly and extensively refurbished end-of-terrace cottage to the market. Every effort has been made in transforming the property into a modern home while retaining fine and attractive period features, creating a stylish yet characterful living space. The cottage offers two double bedrooms, with the second incorporating a study facility and a newly fitted independent shower room. The ground floor is arranged in an open plan style, with a sitting room to the front featuring an attractive fireplace, flowing through to a newly fitted kitchen with utility section to the rear and integrated appliances. The refurbishment has been carefully managed by a respected local craftsman and building expert, ensuring a very high standard throughout. The property also benefits from a south-facing garden with immediate seating area and a magnificent raised terrace enjoying all-day sunshine.

It is within easy reach of local amenities including Marks & Spencer Simply Food Lewes, Tesco and Aldi superstores, as well as the historic Cliffe High Street with its individual shops, inns, cafés, restaurants and antique emporiums. A charming humpback bridge connects the area to riverside walks and the Eastgate shopping centre, leading on to the iconic Lewes High Street.
